Live Up to the Hype

Tv EN ↓ 4 episodes

Welcome to Live Up to the Hype, the podcast where we take a look at tv, movies and theatre that have reputations for being "The Greatest of All Time!" or "The Worst Ever Made," to see if they are worthy of the praise or deserving of the scorn that is heaped upon them.  Everything has a reputation, not everything deserves it's reputation.  We're here to set the record straight!

Apollo 13 - 1995 16.02.2026

Probably the most American Movie that ever Americaned.  This inspirational true story about an Apollo mission where everything went wrong and the men and women who brought them home, will make you want to recite the pledge of allegiance in front of a flag while old glory unfurls behind you...at least that's what audiences though at the time.  31 years later, does this flick still send audienc...

Napoleon Dynamite - 2004 16.02.2026

A ragtag band of would be filmmakers took over the town of Preston Idaho in the summer of 2003...what they did there, would change the world...for the better?  For the worse?  Definitely for the stranger, and the weirder.  A world full of Tots, Vote for Pedro Shirts and dancing awkwardly to Jameroquai.  Today we bring you a film so strange, so bizarre, and so baffling that it breaks algorithms.  L...
